Union Gas employees celebrate through seed collection event

As part of their centennial celebration, Union Gas awarded the Community Trees Initiative program $34,177.83 to help provide school and community groups with the opportunity to learn about the seed to tree process.  In celebration of this anniversary, eight Union Gas employees participated in a seed collection event at Maple Leaf and St. Anthony's Cemetery and Mausoleum Saturday November 19th, 2011.  The seed collection event allowed employees to experience the Community Trees Initiative first-hand.  Mark Egbedeyi-Emmanuel, Union Gas district manager for Windsor/Chatham, was present at the event as the Union Gas representative. The participants experienced a nature walk around the cemetery grounds learning about tree identification and collection of tree and prairie seeds.  They collected seed from Black Walnut, Redbud, London Plane and Sycamore.
